Post by: VK on April 02, 2017, 06:24:43 AM: Thanks everyone ,I'm excited been looking at posts about rigging etc , need to get my butt in it to get some self rescue in .

Anyone experience any difference with re-entry between a OK and similar hull type and Hobie..yes -no? Obviously having the drive is one ?

All input welcome

Post by: ThreemoneyJ on April 02, 2017, 07:27:31 AM: Nice ride! When are you going to start rigging it? If you want to check my stuff out swing by sometime, or even better let's get yours on the water this week! Lake Sonoma should be good....

The drive is kind of in the way of the widest and flattest re entry point, but it's not terrible to do. Definitely a little more of a challenge than a kayak with an empty deck. I crawl across the seat then sort of roll over and try to avoid the drive area.

Post by: vwool on April 02, 2017, 07:51:28 AM: Make sure to put a leash on the drive, so if you remove it, it doesn't sink to the bottom.

The only thing you'll be doing is kicking yourself in the @SS for not getting one sooner.
